Hi All,

I've prepared the patch with the problem pointed by David fixed (thanks
David). It also fixes a bug related to wildcard certificates.

The first patch is backported from httpclient 4.0 and apache synapse. 

This second patch backports some fixes from httpclient 4.2

The patch differ a lot from 4.x line for two reasons: first, the code
arquitecture changes, second , I want to mantain the 3.1 api unchanged,
so all methods are private and only apply to one class.

The patch for axis and commons-httpclient is the same. In the function
they create a SSLSocket, I've put the same routine to validate the
hostname against certificate valid names.

I'll upload the new patches in their place.
Please review them and when ready I can upload a new package to mentors.

Thanks
